Scorch Runner

B Empire

In an era once ravaged by war, pride, and bloodline, four formidable kings broke the cycle of division and forged unity—establishing the B Empire, a colossal alliance uniting the East (Asya), West (Amerck), North (Arct), and South (Afrik). A century has passed since that unification. The dream of harmony lives on… yet so do its shadows. Suspended above the fractured territories, the ethereal capital of La Mer radiates—a marvel of magitek and memory, sustained by ancient seals and protected by the enigmatic Voices of Order. Within its luminous walls, humans, beastkin, hybrids, elementals, and long-forgotten races coexist in a fragile equilibrium. But peace was never meant to last. Beneath the Empire’s shining façade, dormant enemies awaken, forbidden forces resurface, and the scars of history begin to bleed anew. Across scorched deserts, enchanted ruins, frozen frontiers, and submerged cities, a new generation rises—each marked by fate, haunted by legacy, or driven by an unrelenting hunger for change. They may not yet be heroes… but they have been chosen. Among them: • Solla, an orphan from East Asya with a hidden power and an unshakable desire to find her place in the world. • Doniglao and Ariane, centaurian twins from the wild plains, caught between duty and rebellion. • Van Staden, a fugitive prince from the South, fleeing royal chains to forge his own path. • Nate, a tiger-blooded warrior from the Wild Tribes, determined to reclaim a future denied by war and social hierarchy. • Suthra, a silent water-blade wielder, quietly steering through uncertainty with grief and unwavering resolve. • Eula, a rogue hunter bearing secrets, scars, and unmatched aim. • Mr. Wills, a wordless woodborne drifter burdened with dangerous knowledge and an even more dangerous heart. Tested by ancient rites, watched by unseen forces, and torn by lingering allegiances, these thirty-one candidates are bound into ten unpredictable teams to face the Empire’s final challenge: to survive not only the trials ahead… but each other. As bonds fray and destinies collide, one question echoes through the marble halls of the Citadel: Will they honor the legacy of the Four Kings… or break it, and build a new empire from the ashes of the old?

When We Were Gods: Rise Of The Immortals

They were warriors born of starlight and storm—seven champions who rose against godlike invaders in a battle that shook the earth and cracked the heavens. But in their final stand, their power grew beyond imagination. Together, their energy scorched mountains, turned oceans to steam, and split the skies with molten rage. They won the war... But lost the world they swore to protect. Cursed with immortality and blessed with terrifying, earth-shaking power, they became walking cataclysms. Just their presence could melt the ground beneath their feet and ignite cities with a single breath. To prevent another apocalypse, they made a solemn pact: > “We will seal away our powers and vanish across the ages. For 5,000 years, we will walk alone—until the world is ready... or we are forgotten.” They scattered across the globe, living countless lives through empires, eras, and extinctions. But the price of their exile was heavy—the very echo of their unleashed power left scars on the world: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions—the lingering aftermath of gods who dared to exist. Now, in the 21st century, the seal is broken. A pulse of celestial energy escapes into the modern world—possessing storms, toppling cities, awakening memories. As chaos returns, the immortals begin to remember. Their exile is ending. The world teeters on the edge of ruin, and the only hope may lie in their reunion. But with every step they take back toward each other, the balance frays further. They must reclaim their power... But the question remains: > Will they save the world? Or finish what they started and end it?

All Scum Heroes Must Die

Nathan Beck was never meant to be a hero. Life chewed him up, spat him out, and left him hollow. A ghost in his own skin, haunted by grief and disillusionment. But death offered him something else: A new viewpoint. And a question no one else was asking. Now reborn as Hidesuke Shinohara, a forgotten, F-tier “hero” in the digital world of Arc Zenith, he's granted an ominous, forbidden power: The Final Verdict System. It doesn’t hand out points. It doesn’t reward popularity. It exists for one reason alone: To pass judgment on the heroes who think they’re untouchable. In a world where saviors wear pretentious masks and villains are manufactured scapegoats, Hidesuke becomes the razor’s edge between false light and true shadow. As he climbs the twisted hierarchy of power, surveillance, and illusion, his blade becomes justice. As he hunts them one by one, his judgement zones carve truth into lies. Every sentence burns a legacy. Every sin carries a weight. And real justice finally gets a voice. - - - - - - - The alley was soaked, wall to wall with blood and rain. C-tier Hero "Rot" slammed Hidesuke through a rusted vent, sending shards of metal skittering across the floor. “You don’t get to judge me, you fucker!” he roared, face littered with ugly wounds and eyes wide with fury. Hidesuke coughed, blood in his teeth, and pushed himself up. “Thirty-five victims,” he rasped. “How many more must go down in silence before you feel any remorse?” Rot surged forward again, his palm bursting with hydroforce. Hidesuke didn't dodge. All conditions were met. It was time to end this. > “I bear witness.” Then the world around them split in half. Light scorched the pavement as the Judgment Zone warped reality, replacing every structure within the radius. The rain stopped midair. Sound bent in place. Everything froze except Hidesuke—and Rot, now locked inside with him. > “Violation of Article Nine.” > “You turned their lungs into breeding sites for your filthy worms.” Rot screamed, lunging again. But the chains found him first, wrapping around his legs, arms, throat. They hissed against his skin, burning through his armor and piercing his flesh. > “Sin Weight: 46.” > “Victim Count: 35.” > “Verdict confirmed.” Hidesuke walked toward him, limping slightly, voice steady. > “They desperately begged you for air. Yet you used them like lifeless objects.” > “Let this be your last breath.” His hand closed around the final seal. The glyphs flared red—then white. Veil didn’t get a last word. - - - - - - - [ ! ] If you've been looking for a story with a unique plot and background, congrats you've found the one. Don't waste any more time. Head right in.

Reborn as a Devouring Dragon with a System

ASSEMBLE, DRAGONS! When Daniel, an unlucky yet sharp-witted young man from Earth, meets an untimely end, he awakens not in paradise—but before the fearsome, long-forgotten Devouring Dragon God. In a crumbling divine realm on the brink of extinction, the ancient god offers Daniel a choice: be reborn in a world of magic, dragons, phoenixes, and cultivation—or vanish into eternal nothingness. But there’s a price: he must take up the mantle of vengeance and resurrect the glory of the annihilated Dragon Clan. Their enemy? Not demons. Not mortals. Gods. At first, Daniel scoffs. Revenge against divine beings? Madness. But with the threat of oblivion looming, he accepts the pact—and in return, he’s granted three wishes that will shape his destiny. Reborn as the final Devouring Dragon, Daniel believes his journey will be a breeze. He’s wrong. This world doesn’t bend to will or fantasy tropes—it crushes the unprepared. Forged in the flames of hardship and absurdity alike, Daniel rises—not as a mere man, but as the harbinger of an ancient bloodline. Watch the birth of a legend.

The one who will unite the forgotten dragons—Fire, Wind, Thunder, Dark—and mutate even mightier beasts like the Sword Dragon and beyond. He is the storm that cracks the heavens. He is the fire that scorches fate itself. He is the roar that silences worlds. He is the fangs that tear through destiny. He is the wings that shadow the sun. He is the wrath that devours time and gods alike. He is the beginning of dread… and the end of divinity. He is the Devouring Dragon. [WSA 2025 Entry] A/N: Shameless MC? Absolutely. No harem? You bet.

THE DAY THE STARS FELL

THE DAY THE STARS FELL A Sci-Fi Webnovel of Forgotten Skies, Fallen Giants, and a Girl Who Shouldn’t Have Survived They say don't look at the stars, they see you. They say when the stars fall, death follows. She was never supposed to survive. She was never supposed to become one of them. In the broken world of tomorrow, humanity lives split: Below, the Lower Sovereign States — pristine, fortified, and indifferent. Above, the United Upper States — scorched, overrun, and forgotten. Earth’s skies no longer bring hope. They bring Killing Stars — cosmic monsters that descend without warning, obliterating entire cities in thirty minutes before vanishing like ghosts. No one has ever survived a direct encounter… until Gekiko Hershoff, a medic’s foster daughter, caught in the middle of a raid. She didn’t choose the soul. She didn’t ask to inherit the Condemner — a sentient killing star’s internal soul, bonded to her in the chaos of a failed military operation. Now, Gekiko is changing — body, mind, and soul — as an alien presence fuses with her being. Hunted by the Lower States, feared by the surface survivors, and stalked by the very stars that seek to reclaim the soul, Gekiko is caught between worlds. Armed with only a half-functioning mech, her makeshift team of rebels, and a soul that was never meant for her, she fights not just for survival — but for the truth. Because the stars aren't falling randomly. Because someone is calling them. And because somewhere, hidden behind memory and betrayal, lies the man who started it all — someone from her past. As the lines blur between monster and girl, machine and soul, and vengeance and hope — Gekiko must decide: Will she fight for the world that left her behind… …or burn it all down with the stars?

First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System

He died. Not by fate, not by accident, but as collateral in a hunt between beings beyond mortal comprehension. And yet… death was only the beginning. Chosen by a mysterious entity known only as Echo, a sarcastic soul from Earth is offered a chance at a second life. Gifted with ten draws from a divine treasury, he obtains powerful treasures, a rare bloodline, and a mysterious system known as the Limitless System. But what begins as a straightforward reincarnation takes a twisted turn when two dragon inheritances, Thunder and Fire collide within him. Reborn not as a man, nor as a beast, but as an unknown species, a fusion of human and two True Dragon Inheritances, he awakens in a scorched battlefield beside a dragon egg, unaware that his birth was witnessed by fate itself. After surviving the near-fatal clash of legacies within him, he emerges anew… no longer Zaroth, but Primus Xal’Zaryon Drakonis, a name that shakes the very fabric of mana around him. With his soul, body, and bloodline perfectly harmonized between human and dragon, Primus sets out into an unfamiliar world ruled by ancient clans, dangerous beasts, and kingdoms teetering on the edge of Eternal War. But power always draws attention, and with the secrets of his origin, the Limitless System at his side, and a destiny marked by a Primordial-level Mark of Fate, enemies will rise from shadows unknown.

Scorch.

A hundred years ago, the sun’s flames crept hotter and brighter until daylight became a furnace—mankind retreated into the night, and the world was claimed by shadow. In the silence of moonlit streets, water became worship, and three mighty prophets—Children of the Sun, Moon, and Stars—rose from ash to rule with fire-forged faith. No one knows if the Scorch was divine wrath or a cosmic accident, but for a century the faithful have burned heretics, torn nations apart, and lived by ritual “Purification” to prove their worth. Now, sixteen-year-old Ádin survives in a hidden bunker, trading scraps for scraps and precious drops of water. Marked by secret scars that only glow under his skin he lives with Fletcher, his mute golden retriever, and clings to the cryptic lullaby his grandmother left him. Out in the ruins roams Salvator Morgan, a man whose ageless eyes have seen the fall of empires and who whispers rumors of a “true child of prophecy.” When Ádin discovers the first fragment of a hidden map— he realizes he may hold the key to a long-lost salvation. But every step toward the truth draws the attention of the Children of the Stars, a fanatical cult whose young prophet will stop at nothing to claim destiny for himself. As the moon circles high and the ashes swirl, Ádin must decide: cling to everything he’s known, or embrace a perilous path that could either resurrect humanity… or consume him in the flames of betrayal. In a world where water is worship and every lie is branded in blood, survival means choosing whom to trust—and what you’re willing to burn.

EVEN AS A SLAVE, THE HEAVENLY DEMON’S MIGHT SHALL TAME THE BEAUTIES

[Warning: Mature content R-18 ] My tags: Smart Mc - Harem - Milf Hunter- Op Mc - Cold and cunning Mc - edgy-Op-Mc, NO YURI, smut- romance-massacre. As flames scorched the land and blood painted the soil, a lone figure stood atop a mountain of fallen demigods and chosen apostles, his blade—a masterpiece of folded steel—dripping with the blood of those who dared to invade. The gods had taken everything: his clan, his love, leaving him with nothing but wrath. They had made one critical mistake, however—they had crossed into Makaiyama (魔界山), the sacred mountain of Ryukoku’s most feared legend: the Heavenly Demon. Beyond the veil of space and time, celestial beings gazed in shock. “Impossible…” one god whispered, watching as the Heavenly Demon, armed with nothing but raw skill and a dark aura, felled three divine kin. Rage flared across their ranks as they saw their immortal kin fall to mere mortal swordsmanship, untainted by magic. Even as the Heavenly Demon staggered, weapons lodged deep into his body, he fixed his gaze forward, crimson eyes blazing with defiance. His obsidian katana, blood-soaked, pierced the peak of Makaiyama like a stake driven into the heart of heaven itself. His voice echoed in the darkness between life and death, and there, in the chasm of despair, a metallic whisper resonated: “[Project God Executioner has been activated.]" "[Accept?]" the voice asked. With a heart ablaze, he swore vengeance. He would rise—not as a puppet, but as the gods' executioner.

The Mafia Couple

Jason sank to his knees as smoke swallowed the sky, the color of it an angry crimson, like the world itself was bleeding. The house before him, her house, collapsed in slow motion, boards shrieking and crumbling as if mourning their own destruction. His chest caved with a ragged sob, the kind that seemed to come from somewhere deeper than his lungs, deeper even than his body. Everything around him blurred—faces, sirens, flames—until all that remained was the ash. He should have looked away. Should have closed his eyes. But he didn't. He couldn't. The paramedics moved solemnly through the smoke, their silhouettes stark against the firelit haze. The stretchers were draped in white sheets—too still, too final. He counted them without meaning to. One... two... three. Jason didn't flinch. His heart was hollowed out, like something had been carved from within him with a hot blade. It should've been him. Not Selena. "No," he whispered hoarsely, his voice splintering. "No, it can't be." He stumbled backward, eyes wide, brain refusing to bridge the gap between what he saw and what he believed. Reality came in slow waves, each one more unbearable than the last. And then he was moving, sprinting toward the stretchers with a desperate, raw urgency. A rescuer with no one left to save. "Selena," he choked, reaching trembling hands toward the nearest form. The heat of the fire still lingered in the air, as if the world itself was scorched. He lifted the sheet with shaking fingers. What stared back at him was no longer her face—just blackened skin, unrecognizable. His mind rejected it. It can't be her. It isn't.

She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign

Synopsis: The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign War. Betrayal. Power. And the will of one man to seize it all. Kael Ashmark was born without a name, an orphan of war found amidst the ashes of Ashmark Hold, a frontier keep left to rot by a fractured Empire. Raised by scavengers, he learned to survive by instinct, his hands honed for a blade long before he learned to read. At sixteen, after witnessing Imperial forces butcher innocent families while their garrison turned a blind eye, Kael made his first kill in retribution, swearing never again to kneel to a crown that failed its people. From the dying highlands of Gravenmarsh, Kael forged the **Iron Rebellion**. With raw conviction, he united outlaws, peasants, and deserters, first striking with brutal ambushes that earned him the whispered title of "Sovereign". His audacious capture of Duskwatch Fortress shattered Imperial complacency. As the Empire's High Crown Orsain Vellgaard and the fanatical Archlector Malgrad declared his rise heresy and prepared for a total "judgment," Kael unveiled a desperate new strategy: not open battle, but a war of attrition. He unleashed a **scorched earth** campaign, turning fertile lands into barren ash, forcing his own loyal villagers into the harsh mountain holds of Ravencair. His Red Veil, led by the zealous and terrifying Seyda, became a haunting force, melting into shadows to stalk Imperial patrols and leave chilling messages of dread. Lady Virelle Velmire, a cunning noble with ambitions as cold as steel, joined his cause, skillfully poisoning Imperial supply lines with doubt and misinformation. Even the loyalties of Imperial spies, like the conflicted Nalen, began to fracture, turning the Empire's own blades against itself. As the gargantuan Imperial Legions lumber north, plagued by hunger, sickness, and mounting paranoia, Kael’s defiance grinds them to a desperate crawl. He watches them succumb to the brutal choices he forces upon them, turning the very machine designed to crush him into a monstrous reflection of its own cruelty. But as the war intensifies, and his people endure untold suffering in the mountain holds, Kael must confront the one thing he never wanted: what comes after victory? Will he become the tyrant he fought against, or will he forge something new—an empire not born of bloodlines, but of belief? *The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign* is a raw, uncompromising tale of brutal strategy, shifting power, and the profound cost of defiance in a world ruled by bloodlines and betrayal. Discover one man’s relentless ascent from nothing, until the kingdoms whispered his name in fear.
